SHOES FOR MASSAGING THE INNER SIDE OF HALLUX

Abstract

A shoe for massaging the inner side of hallux includes a sole, a vamp mounted on the sole, and an elastic correction band with both ends installed to the inner side of the vamp and the top of the sole respectively. The elastic correction band has a massage area on an outer surface of the hallux and massage bumps on the massage area. Both ends of the elastic correction band have a fixed part on the inner side of the vamp, and the fixed part at the lower end of the elastic correction band is installed to the top of the sole. The massage area of the elastic correction band can massage the trigeminal nerve acupoints on the inner side of the hallux to achieve the effect of relieving migraine. In addition, the elastic correction band can correct the hallux valgus and provide a certain buffering effect by its elasticity.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] The objectives, technical characteristics and advantageous effects of the present invention will become apparent with the detailed description of preferred embodiments accompanied with the illustration of related drawings. It is intended that the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.

[0013] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 for a massage shoe for the inner side of hallux in accordance with the present invention, the shoe comprises a sole 10, a vamp 20 mounted on the sole 10, and an elastic correction band 30 with both ends installed to an inner side of the vamp 20 and the top side of the sole 10.

[0014] The sole 10 comprises an outsole 11 and a Laban insole 12 disposed on a top side of the outsole 11, and the Laban insole 12 has a via 121 formed thereon. The elastic correction band 30 has a massage area 31 defined at the middle of the elastic correction band 30, and a plurality of massage bumps 311 formed on the massage area 31. The elastic correction band 30 has a fixed part 32 disposed separately on both left and right sides of the massage area 31, and the two fixed parts 32 can be fixed onto a bottom side of the Laban insole 12 and an inner side of the vamp 20 by pasting, sewing or high-temperature heat pressing.

[0015] During installation, the elastic correction band 30 is installed between the hallux and the second toe, and the side of the elastic correction band 30 with the massage bumps 311 is configured to be facing the hallux. The fixed part 32 at the top end of the elastic correction band 30 is fixedly installed onto the inner side of the vamp 20, and a bottom end of the elastic correction band 30 is passed through the via 121 of the Laban insole 12 and then folded and fixed onto a bottom side of the Laban insole 12.

[0016] In use, the massage area 31 of the elastic correction band 30 can massage the trigeminal nerve acupoints on the inner side of the hallux to achieve the effect of relieving migraine. In addition, the elastic correction band 30 can separate the hallux from the second toe to correct the hallux valgus and provide a certain buffering effect by its elasticity, so as to avoid foot pain caused by forced correction and prevent increased valgus. This invention has high practicality and strong promotional effect.

[0017] In summation of the description above, the elastic correction band 30 of the present invention not just can massage the inner side of hallux to achieve the effect of relieving migraine only, but also can provide the effect of correcting hallux valgus while providing a certain buffering effect by the elasticity of the elastic correction band 30 to avoid foot pain caused by forced correction and prevent increased valgus. The elastic correction band 30 of this invention has the features of simple structure, convenient installation, high practicality and strong promotional effect.

[0018] While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.
